Waiting on Wednesday

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly blog post by Jill over at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights releases we're eagerly awaiting.

The companion novel to Assassin’s Heart—a riveting fantasy that Printz Award-winning author Laura Ruby said “will keep you turning the pages all night long”—Thief’s Cunning
picks up eighteen years later and follows Allegra Saldana as she
uncovers the secrets about the line of killers she descends from.

Allegra
Saldana has always had to look over her shoulder. As the niece of the
infamous assassin Lea Saldana, Allegra is used to hiding from people who
want her dead. Once the strongest clipper family in the Kingdom of
Lovero, the Saldanas—or what’s left of them—are now the most hunted.
Their number one enemy is the Da Vias, whose thirst for retaliation is
almost two decades in the making.

At least that’s what Lea has
told Allegra her whole life, but lately Allegra’s been feeling like
things are being kept from her—including her parents’ identity. So when
Allegra finally learns the truth—I’m a Da Via—her world crumbles.
Feeling betrayed by the people she trusted the most, Allegra turns to
Nev, a Traveler boy whose presence makes her feel alive in ways she’s
only dreamed of. But getting caught up in Nev’s world has consequences
Allegra never saw coming.

In this dark and enthralling fantasy
that fans of Sarah Maas and Leigh Bardugo will devour, one girl must
decide whether she’s destined to pay for the wrongs of her family’s
past…or if the future is hers for the taking.

Whoo hoo! Isn't it great to win the book you want to read? I had won a GoodReads giveaway for my WoW last week, and I was over the moon. I actually have Assassin's Heart, but I am so slow to read my physical books. Your enthusiasm has me intrigued. Enjoy your book!Sam @ WLABB
